Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.
Role at a Glance
Be the first product designer on Cantilever, Gecko’s new software platform that is transforming the protection and maintenance of our civilization’s critical infrastructure by enabling deep analysis of machine-scale sensor data. Product Design will play a key role at the nexus between internal users (think robot operators and industry experts), external users (engineers charged with maintaining critical infrastructure), and Gecko’s core software and forward-deployed engineering teams building Cantilever. This is a generalist role including user research, information architecture, prototyping, ideation, workflow/interaction design, and visual design.
What you will do
You’ll partner closely with engineering teams building applications for internal users (e.g. our own engineers, field operators, and data analysts) and external customer users. This includes applications that manage the acquisition and processing of robotic sensor data and applications that let users interact with virtual asset models to design and prioritize actions that improve the health of critical infrastructure.
You may embed with forward deployed engineering teams building new workflows in the field, or help core software teams build extensible UI/UX that generalizes learnings from the forward-deployed teams. You’ll work at varied product maturities and zoom levels, ranging from lo-fi sketches to ideate major new capabilities, to hi-fi refinement of micro-interactions in existing UIs. You’ll travel frequently to colocate with engineers and understand user workflows in the context of the physical infrastructure sites that Gecko protects.
